In-Home Usage Tester (Product Tester from home)

Presently we’re recruiting Product Testers (from home) in most of the Canadian provinces to expand our private network of In-Home Usage Testers (IHUT) to fulfill upcoming contracts with multinational market research companies. We guarantee 15-20 hours per week with an hourly pay between of $25/hr. and $45/hr., depending on the In-Home Usage Test project. No experience required.

Canadian Consumer Panels® is a consulting firm that specializes in product testing and product development work. We design and conduct In-Home Usage Testing (IHUT) locally and nationally to provide actual user feedback to companies and market research firms to evaluate products, packaging, related product instructions and more.

We leverage our network of private panels (In Home Usage Testers) to provide product testers to companies for evaluating the in-home experience with a wide variety of products to ensure proper product certification and greater market access.

Please note that although this job can be done from home 95% of the time, very occasionally In Home Product Testers may be asked to visit the client’s office, laboratory, store, warehouse or factory for training or meetings. These optional visits are also paid by the hour.

During your application process we will determine your consumer profile and establish what products would be suitable for you to test according to your demographics, lifestyle, consumer behavior, skills, hobbies and ability. Research questionnaires are used to identify and target certain types of consumers, to ensure the right participants are engaged and to achieve the representative sample needed. Job candidates for In-Home Usage Testing are also screened to meet the client’s needs for the project to ensure that the product is one that they qualify to test and that they have a balance of demographics and attitudes.

Participation in these product testing and consumer panels is always free, secure and private. In-Home Usage Testing is a quick, easy and fun way to make extra cash by telling big brands what you think about their upcoming products and services in the Canadian market.

Main duties:

Sign and return non-disclosure agreements before the product to be tested is shipped. Individuals who complete the required documents will have the products sent to their homes.

Once the product is received for In-Home Usage Test (IHUT), the Product Tester must take care of the product tested and use it responsibly.

Attend online Skype meetings or conference call meetings with Account Managers, Brand Managers, Research Managers, Product Managers or small business owners to offer ongoing product usage feedback. These short virtual meetings may take place 2-3 times per week and are paid by the hour also.

Paid Product Testing is done from home 95% of the time, but very occasionally paid Product Testers may be asked to visit the client’s office, laboratory, store, warehouse or factory for training or meetings. These visits are paid by the hour also.

There are times when the product testing may be discussed in a private chat room that is opened by the market research group.
